Festivals Extra: Image Expo Announces January Return

This is a story that broke in significant fashion in comics-industry news circles Monday afternoon: the publisher Image will throw another iteration of its company-specific convention in January. I like the idea of the Image Expo because of the difference in the model -- as a fan of comics, and as someone that recognizes the success of recent events programming, I want to see as many models as possible, including shows revolving around specific companies. I don't know why Fantagraphics couldn't do an event in Seattle and Dark Horse in Portland, for example.

The January date makes some sense because of 1) the publishing news focus of that show and 2) the very empty place on the convention and news calendar for that time of the year. I imagine it will dominate that week's news barring something breaking or a tragic passing.
